Healthy Guilt, Unhealthy Guilt

Guilt is the feeling that results when you tell yourself that you have done something wrong.

HEALTHY GUILT

Healthy guilt is the feeling that occurs when you have actually done something wrong – such as deliberately harming someone. This is an important feeling, which results from having developed a conscience – a loving adult self who is concerned with your highest good and the highest good of all. People who never developed a conscience and feel no guilt or remorse over harming others are called sociopaths. These people have no loving adult self and can wreck havoc – stealing, raping, killing – without ever feeling badly about it.

Healthy guilt results in taking responsibility for our choices and being accountable for our actions. When we have not behaved in a way that is in our highest good and the highest good of all, our loving adult self will feel remorse and take over, doing whatever we have to do to remedy the situation.

UNHEALTHY GUILT

Unhealthy guilt results from telling yourself that you have done something wrong when you haven’t actually done something wrong. For example, if you decide to do something for yourself with no intent to harm anyone, and someone gets upset with you for doing what you want instead of doing what he or she wants, what do you tell yourself? Here are some of the inner statements that can lead to unhealthy guilt:

“It’s my fault that he is feeling angry.”

“I should have done what she wanted instead of what I wanted. I have caused her to feel hurt.”

“I’m being selfish in doing what I want to do.”

“It’s my duty to put myself aside and do what others want me to do.”

“If he gets angry with me, then I must have done something wrong.”

“If she is hurt, then I must have done something wrong.”

Many of us have been trained to believe that we are responsible for others’ feelings, so that when others are angry or hurt, it is our fault. But unless you deliberately intended to harm someone, his or her feelings are not your responsibility. Others get hurt when they take your behavior personally, and they get angry when they make you responsible for their feelings. But this does not mean that you are responsible for their feelings.

You are responsible for your own intent. When you intend to harm someone, then you are responsible for the results of that. But when you just want to take care of yourself with no intent to harm anyone – such as want some time alone when your partner wants to spend time with you – then you are not responsible for your partner’s upset.

Unhealthy guilt comes from telling yourself a lie. When the wounded, programmed critical part of you takes over and tells you that doing what you want with no intent to harm anyone is wrong, that is when you will feel unhealthy guilt. This critical part of you wants to control how others feel about you, and so tells you the lie that you are responsible for others’ feelings.

Unhealthy guilt also arises when someone blames you for his or her feelings and you take on the blame. Many people have learned to blame others for their feelings rather than take responsible for their own feelings. When you accept this blame, it is because you want to believe that you can control others’ feelings. You will feel unhealthy guilt when you accept blame for others’ feelings.

Healthy guilt is an important feeling and leads to positive action, but unhealthy guilt is a waste of energy.

Healing The Body With Light

The human body is in essence a body of light, which was created first by God’s divine intention which created the soul. The soul’s divine intention to enter the world of physical form created the passageway through which God’s light could manifest the miracle of conception and birth.

All of life is a miracle, and each precious soul you encounter is living proof of God’s great love, which created the manifest and un-manifest universes. All possibilities and probabilities exist as One within God’s divine mind. Within the infinite realm of possibility, God’s light exists and actively participates within all of life.

God’s light can be activated as a healing force within the human body, whenever you are sick or injured. God’s light can bring healing, comfort, and can even completely transform even an apparently hopeless situation. Light can expand and open possibilities, and can support all other healing modalities you are using.

To activate the presence of God’s light within your body, it is helpful to create a sacred space within your home that can be used for meditation, prayer and healing. Create an altar that expresses your innermost hearts connection with the divine. Keep it simple, clean and place it in an area that can be devoted to sacred activities.

Spend a few moments each day, or several times a day, quietly praying, meditating or sitting quietly at your altar. In time your altar will develop a vibration of light, and you will begin to feel this when you sit at the altar. The light will help you relax, and will aid you in your healing process.

When your body is fatigued, sick, or injured, you can rejuvenate and regenerate your body by sitting or lying in front of your altar and breathing in God’s light. Place your hand over your heart and pray for healing, and then imagine God’s light descending from the heavens and infusing your body through the top of your head. As you breathe, allow the light to circulate through your body.

You’ll notice certain parts of your body that will feel more tense, or that will be holding pain. Imagine the light deeply infusing these areas, bringing warms, comfort, and peace. The cells of your body know how to heal themselves, and God’s light will activate these inner resources of healing.

As you do this regularly, you will begin to notice changes in your body and your health. The infusion of God’s light will begin a process of self healing within your body. Sometimes, if your body has been out of alignment for a very long time, the healing process takes longer because the body needs to re-balance itself on all levels.

your body is not separate from your mind or emotions. In fact it could be said that your mind is your whole body! As God’s light begins this healing process in you, you will find old memories and emotions form the past re-surfacing. Allow these to pass through your consciousness. See them, feel them, and then let them go.

At some point you may find it helpful to join with others who are in a healing process. If you have many challenges happening at once in your body, it will be helpful to work with a practitioner of healing arts who can act as a facilitator, helping to strengthen the light and support your body through the healing process.+

In times past, healing was thought of as something separate from everyday life. Now, as spiritual consciousness on the Earth evolves and transforms, it becomes more clear to us that all of life is a healing process. When our bodies are in need of healing, God’s light can provide stability, grounding in our primary reality as a soul, and a sense of peace, comfort and rejuvenation. God’s light can support us and enhance all other healing modalities and treatments, and is available freely to all beings, because God loves us and is always present and available to support our lives.

Headache And Migraine Pain Relief Through Hypnotherapy

Even if the brain itself is insensitive to pain, certain regions of the skull such as the scalp, face, mouth and throat have nerve fibers that are sensitive to pain and which can hurt. Headache – or cephalgia – generally means any type of pain that would appear in these sensitive regions of the skull.

Headaches can be put into two groups: Primary headaches, to which stress headache, cluster headache and migraine headache belong and which are not caused by any disorder; And Secondary headaches which are caused by an illness.

Headaches are the most ordinary disease of the nervous system. Everyone will suffer from them at some point , but for 55 million Americans, it is a usual problem. According to the World Health Organization, one in every 20 adult suffers from recurring headaches, with females being more at risk than men.

Headaches can be highly handicapping and may very negatively affect the people who experience them. Work ability is lessened for these people, which can negatively affect their financial situation.

The ability to socialize is also limited as the suffering, or the fear thereof, can make people more irascible. Some people who suffer from migraine may even have to always pay attention to the things they eat, the things they see, and even the things they smell, as some strong or displeasing sensations may trigger pain.

Since headaches are seen as such an usual, harmless disease, people who experience them on an everyday basis also have to deal with the incomprehension of other people. This social barrier may also deter people from trying to get the attention of a doctor and benefiting from an appropriate treatment. But before being treated, a headache has to be “identified”.

We have seen before that there are two particular categories of headache: Primary and Secondary, each subdivided into several other subtypes. Their symptoms may vary as well as what causes them and, obviously, how they should be cured. This is the reason why they must to be identified by a practitioner in order to receive good treatment.

Stress headache, also referred to as tension headache, is the most ordinary kind of primary headache and is responsible for around 90 percent of headaches. It is usually considered related to stress or related to musculoskeletal problems in the neck.

Tension headache is mainly episodic and may last from several minutes to several hours, but might last for numerous days in the most severe cases. It is typically described as a constant pressure, usually on both sides of the head, or spreading around it, from time to time also extending to the neck.

Migraine is kind of different and is thought to most certainly have a genetic origin. Migraines happen when the brain releases painful substances, which spread to the nerves and vessels of the head. Migraine usually occurs on a monthly basis and persists for a few hours, with accompanying symptoms such as nausea and intolerance of regular degrees of light and sound.

Cluster headaches often occur frequently and are short lasting. They are also very painful. They occur in clusters of six to twelve weeks every one or two years, usually at the same time of the year. The pain is excessively sharp and affects the entire head, typically beginning with the eye, and then spreading to the forehead, nose and mouth. It is much more rare than other sorts of headache and primarily affects the male population.

Headaches are usually treated with over-the-counter pain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen or paracetamol. A doctor may also advise to avoid some usual causes of headaches such as noise or some sorts of foods.

Caffeine, Magnesium and Vitamin B2 have also been regarded as useful in order to treat migraine. Drugs are however not cheap and may have undesired side effects, especially for people who must take them on a daily basis. This is the reason why you might want to consider a different way of avoiding the various sorts of headache.

Hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) were indeed proven to be effective and can help you to dissipate pain anywhere in your body, including your head, as well as trying to be more relaxed meanwhile. Stress is one of the first causes of headache, and specific hypnotic techniques have been developed to dissipate both stress and headaches within seconds.

People who have migraine or cluster headache are generally able to feel the first symptoms before the migraine really happens, and may learn self-hypnosis techniques to abort them before they become too painful. Hypnotherapists who understand how handicapping a headache can be have invented these techniques.

Hypnosis is a drug free modality that will help you find the relief you have been looking for. Headache is a serious affliction with numerous variations, concerning millions of people worldwide. Learn to overcome it and to relax with the appeasing method of self hypnosis.
